Weed Growing School starts up in Colorado -- (link) - crash davis Jan 2, 13:50
Add them to the list, another GOP tax exempt 501(c)(4) org busted for it's $11M spent on the election and nothing spent charitably. -- (link) - MDH Jan 2, 13:47
Don't make Chris Christie angry -- (link) - ty97 Jan 2, 13:46 9
- I disagree with him on like 85% of political issues yet I maintain that the US will be a much better place if Chris Christie takes control of the GOP -- nm - David Jan 2, 13:49 8
  - Same here. - pmb Jan 2, 13:51
  - Unfortunately, he'd have to Mittify to get '16 nom, thus negating what's useful about him taking control. -- nm - ty97 Jan 2, 13:50 6
    - I don't think he would...and that's what the party sorely needs: someone who will shout down the crazies. -- nm - David Jan 2, 13:51 5
      - McCain in '99 tried that. - Mel Profit Jan 2, 13:55
      - Well, he might shout down the social crazies, but he's part and parcel of the economic crazies. - TWuG Jan 2, 13:54
      - The crazies control the primary outcome. -- nm - ty97 Jan 2, 13:52 2
        
        I'm starting to believe that is overstated. The crazies are just louder. -- nm - David Jan 2, 13:53
        
        Maybe, but his buzz may be good enough to overcome it. People like him and his effectiveness. -- nm - pmb Jan 2, 13:52
The new GI Joe trailer looks really good - I never did catch why I basically got pushed back like 6 months -- nm - Capstern Jan 2, 13:44 8
- They covered for killing Channing Tatum off by saying they needed 3-d while they reshot parts of the movie. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 2, 13:51 1
  - too funny - thanks for the info -- nm - Capstern Jan 2, 13:54
- 3-d and they realized they couldn't have Channing Tatum die in the first 5 minutes, he's a draw now. -- nm - MDH Jan 2, 13:45 3
  - I didnt know they killed him early on...lol. It just looks fun now -- nm - Capstern Jan 2, 13:46 2
    - The original trailer shows the premise. Bombs blow the GI Joe base up, and they are able to re-boot with an entirely new cast, easy explanation. -- nm - MDH Jan 2, 13:47 1
      - I remember Tatum in the well and bullets flying by in the water - didnt know was death lol -- nm - Capstern Jan 2, 13:49
- Adding extra sinking ice. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jan 2, 13:44 1
  - Still funny. -- nm - David Jan 2, 13:45
so remember the check from my dad? yeah I still haven't cashed it. -- nm - amanda Jan 2, 13:43 4
- If cashing it feels like giving your dad an "in" to build a relationship you don't want, then don't cash it. - TWuG Jan 2, 13:52
- That's not how it's supposed to work. "Just tell me what to do" is supposed to be followed by telling and then doing. -- nm - Max Jan 2, 13:45 1
  - I know. I know. maybe tonight when I pick up my redbox. -- nm - amanda Jan 2, 13:47
- Hmm, this reminds me I need to deposit my bonus check -- nm - oblique2013 Jan 2, 13:44
@brianstelter BREAKING: Al Jazeera is finalizing a deal to take over Current TV. -- nm - ty97 Jan 2, 13:43 3
- If they're smart, they'll drop both brand names in the U.S. and go for something new. -- nm - Mop (190 lbs) Jan 2, 13:50
- Isn't that Al gore's channel? -- nm - Beryllium Jan 2, 13:49 1
  - Same first name! (yes) -- nm - ty97 Jan 2, 13:51
My credit must finally start to be getting good again as I'm beginning to receive junk mail. -- nm - Qale Jan 2, 13:43
~I remember the night and the Tennessee Waltz...~ - Cyrano DivBergerac Jan 2, 13:42
David, the gerrymander has made it unlikely the GOP loses the House in 2014. - Will Hunting Jan 2, 13:41 1
- [deleted]
a Rumor just hit my FB feed that Boehner will resign in 20mins. - Mel Profit Jan 2, 13:39 10
- Unless he's just fed up with the job (I would be) then I can't imagine why. There's no challenger. - ty97 Jan 2, 13:42 6
  - Eric Cantor's power play would be complete. -- nm - Emperor Palpatine Jan 2, 13:44 2
    - Cantor shouldn't want it. That's the ultimate fall guy job. -- nm - David Jan 2, 13:45 1
      - Yeah, totally. -- nm - President of the USA si Jan 2, 13:49
  - Pretty sure Cantor wants it - amoxy Jan 2, 13:43 2
    - I'd buy Ryan over Cantor. -- nm - David Jan 2, 13:50
    - And the crazy house republicans just keep moving further right. - pmb Jan 2, 13:48
- [deleted] 1
  - even further down stream... - Mel Profit Jan 2, 13:43
- Was it Bananarama? -- nm - amoxy Jan 2, 13:40
"They did songs about love. They did songs about Vikings. There did songs about Vikings making love..." -- nm - Cyrano DivBergerac Jan 2, 13:35

- Moneyball, Bourne, Spidey, Battleship. I haven't seen Looper. -- nm - Krusty Jan 2, 13:49
- Moneyball was good, Battleshit was awful. - Will Hunting Jan 2, 13:43 2
  - [deleted] 1
    - Not intended, but was an appropriate typo. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 2, 13:50
- 4,3, NEVER, 1, 2 -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jan 2, 13:43
- How much did you like the book Moneyball? - spamlet Jan 2, 13:43
- ?,?,3,2,1 - Dr.Vermin Jan 2, 13:42
- I am surprised you haven't seen Moneyball -- nm - crash davis Jan 2, 13:41 1
  - this -- nm - oblique2013 Jan 2, 13:42
- Moneyball is great. Battleship is a mess but not a disaster. Looper didn't work me. I still haven't seen the other two. -- nm - David Jan 2, 13:40 8
  - Take This Waltz was #106. I'm just *itching* to start nominating some of them. -- nm - Max Jan 2, 13:43 5
    - I'm pretty sure you're going to win this year. -- nm - David Jan 2, 13:46 2
      - I'll be adding another 30 this month and then go into recess and nap in February while the box office requests emergency funding. -- nm - Max Jan 2, 13:49 1
        
        I've got access to 72 more films but I doubt I get to watch half of them. -- nm - David Jan 2, 13:52
    - I have this at home. do I love it? -- nm - amanda Jan 2, 13:44 1
      - I will say yes and then you'll watch it and say no. -- nm - Max Jan 2, 13:46
  - Bourne is a very substandard action movie, even more so of the series, but better than a straight to DVD movie. -- nm - MDH Jan 2, 13:41 1
    - I've get Bourne and Spidey on UV but I have yet to muster up the courage to watch. -- nm - David Jan 2, 13:44
- None of the above. -- nm - Qale Jan 2, 13:40
- Quality wise (BL, AS, L, MB, BS) fun wise Battleship is silly fun but you have to turn some neurons off -- nm - Capstern Jan 2, 13:39 7
  - Quality-wise, Moneyball is on an entirely different plane than the rest of those movies. nm - Dignan Jan 2, 13:42 4
    - we just watched a good bit of it again last week and it really works. -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 2, 13:44 1
      - I watched it again over break. the score is just *perfect.* -- nm - amanda Jan 2, 13:45
    - Agree just a different type of movie..a little slow but it was very good -- nm - Capstern Jan 2, 13:43 1
      - Oh. I thought you ranked it fourth out of fi...never mind. nm - Dignan Jan 2, 13:48
  - we say this alot, we excuse much with the "you just have to lower expectations" but it's true in BS case. If you do that you won't leave the theater - Mel Profit Jan 2, 13:40 1
    - well I found it just fun popcorn movie - i do have a standard for that but what I meant was some of the silly ignoring of physics :) -- nm - Capstern Jan 2, 13:43
- I have only seen Looper, which I enjoyed. Probably then Moneyball - amoxy Jan 2, 13:37
- Moneyball, Bourne, Looper, Battleship, Spider Man. - Max Jan 2, 13:36 2
  - Battleship had a few things going for it. It's an F+ but the + is really there. -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 2, 13:37 1
    - Where else are you going to see a battleship volley? I put it over of Res. Evil and Underworld because you can see chicks in leather with guns any day -- nm - Max Jan 2, 13:47
- Moneyball............Looper, Spidey, Bourne........Battleship - oblique2013 Jan 2, 13:35
- Moneyball, Looper (which I haven't even seen)............Battleship...then go out and get black out drunk. - Mel Profit Jan 2, 13:35 4
  - we are, in fact, watching looper tonight. I'll let you know tomorrow if you must. -- nm - amanda Jan 2, 13:36 3
    - It's on the (short) list of 2012 movies I really want to see -- nm - ty97 Jan 2, 13:38
    - one thing I can't get passed... - Mel Profit Jan 2, 13:37 1
      - I heard someone comment that that gets explained in some way -- nm - Beryllium Jan 2, 13:37
- Looper, Moneyball, Bourne.........................Spider........ .............drink cyanide......................Battleship - ty97 Jan 2, 13:35
- I haven't seen any of these, but here's my stab at it - Beryllium Jan 2, 13:35 2
  - (I would consider swapping 2 and 4, but they are bunched close enough together that it doesn't matter) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 2, 13:36 1
    - Spiderman wasn't bad, it was just unnecessary on all levels. -- nm - Andie Jan 2, 13:36
- Moneyball, Looper..................................Bourn e/Spiderman. "Never" is too soon for Battleship. -- nm - MDH Jan 2, 13:35
- just make sure Battleship is last. -- nm - Andie Jan 2, 13:35
- I've only seen Battleship...and I feel confident it should be last. -- nm - Jim Jan 2, 13:35
Gregg Williams was finally fired by the St. Louis Rams, for whom he never officially coached. - David Jan 2, 13:34 1
- Considering the huge improvement from last season to this season...I guess Fisher decided Williams wasn't needed. - Jim Jan 2, 13:34
So.....if I get a verbal offer, do I need to make them send it to me in writing? If they make an offer, I can assume that the background checks and - Epiphany Jan 2, 13:32 9
- Do you not trust them? I would think anything in writing would be your contract after you've said yes and everything is cleared. -- nm - CrankYanker Jan 2, 13:44
- You can even have offer in writing and it will ususally say depending on results of checks - call me after work -- nm - Capstern Jan 2, 13:40
- what's the difference between X and Y? are they paying you more or less. also, congrats!!! plus - amanda Jan 2, 13:35 5
  - $ 5k difference - honestly for my background - its not unreasonable -- nm - Epiphany Jan 2, 13:42 1
    - yeah, if you already are taking a dive, that $5k is huge. -- nm - amanda Jan 2, 13:49
  - oh wait. I get it. they offered you less, you asked for me. stinkers! -- nm - amanda Jan 2, 13:41 1
    - and she was suppose to call me back after she talked to R - but no call? - Epiphany Jan 2, 13:43
  - The IM is truth. Background and drug screening is post acceptance. -- nm - spamlet (iPhone) Jan 2, 13:37
- You sure make guys go through a lot of paperwork to jam. I'm sure it's worth it though -- nm - oblique2013 Jan 2, 13:34
Jax... - Mel Profit Jan 2, 13:31 1
- They're definitely an inside look at the 1% mind, I think. She's definitely delusional, he's so out of touch. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 2, 13:55
Boehner: House will vote Friday to fund National Flood Insurance program, 1/15 on other Sandy funds -- (link) - ty97 Jan 2, 13:29 9
- "We stayed up until midnight voting on Manilaq, The Drywall Safety Act, and HR.8, so we're super tired and this emergency funding will have to wait." -- nm - Max Jan 2, 13:35
- Optics are where current Republican leadership fails the most. -- nm - David Jan 2, 13:32 2
  - it's like they're not even trying. -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 2, 13:33
  - Bad Optics are where they are vikings -- nm - Beryllium Jan 2, 13:33
- Wait an effing tool. So Friday on funds they *HAVE* to give out, and then wait some more. -- nm - MDH Jan 2, 13:31
- Two week?!? F** you all! - Krusty Jan 2, 13:30 3
  - Is FEMA going to run out of money before that? -- nm - Ender Jan 2, 13:40 1

I'm wondering how long STers "sleeping around" phase would last? I bet a lot shorter than most anticipate. -- nm - MDH Jan 2, 13:25 39
- [deleted] 3
  - Now older, I find that my slutty phase lasts about 2-3 weeks, then I just get sad -- nm - Hotkiss Jan 2, 13:32 2
    - [deleted] 1
      - Sad and bored -- nm - Hotkiss Jan 2, 13:34
- my post-breakup sleeping around phases last one night. one night, and then a morning of horror and I remember why I stopped sleeping around. -- nm - amanda Jan 2, 13:27 2
  - Yeah, I think I'd be fine with establishing a FWB scenario but I don't think I could navigate a slutty phase -- nm - oblique2013 Jan 2, 13:28 1
    - you can combine them and have several FWB. -- nm - loosilu Jan 2, 13:29
- Corallary: Would it be a longer or shorter phase if it was death vs. divorce? -- nm - oblique2013 Jan 2, 13:26 29
  - "How would you do it?" "Woodchipper. Did you see Fargo? Brrrrrrp!" -- nm - JaxSean Jan 2, 13:50
  - If anything happened to Kim, I'd be done. -- nm - David Jan 2, 13:38 1
    - Word. The thought of like without Carrie is so out there for me, i can't even begin to think about what i would do. -- nm - Jim Jan 2, 13:39
  - I might be kinda horrified if Mop was dating this soon after his wife died. -- nm - loosilu Jan 2, 13:27 21
    - I'd be shocked. Took me 22 years to get my first girlfriend. Although I see maybe leveraging the sympathy into a line. -- nm - Mop (190 lbs) Jan 2, 13:33 5
      - Have women date you because they like you, not because they pity you. You owe yourself that much respect. -- nm - ty97 Jan 2, 13:37
      - most sane women would run away screaming. -- nm - loosilu Jan 2, 13:34 3
        
        Oh, but "I have cancer" gets me laid tonight. How is that fair? -- nm - Mop (190 lbs) Jan 2, 13:36 2
        
        you don't have cancer. -- nm - Andie Jan 2, 13:48
        
        if that is true it just makes me sad. -- nm - loosilu Jan 2, 13:37
    - I'm kind of horrified that he's dating five days after getting divorced. -- nm - amanda Jan 2, 13:31 14

        [deleted] 1
        
        well, it's certainly not because they provide you with ample opportunity for ad hominem slights against me - merry xmas and happy znu year Jan 2, 13:48
        
        but it's clear from his posts that he hasn't. -- nm - amanda Jan 2, 13:37
      - wait, is Mop actually legally divorced? i didn't realize, i thought they were at the separation phase. -- nm - Andie Jan 2, 13:33 1
        
        Yeah, she wasted no time. Dec. 26th. Boxing Day, bitches! -- nm - Mop (190 lbs) Jan 2, 13:34

        I like the unexpectedly sourced kill shots. -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 2, 13:45

      - Men have needs, mandy. -- nm - mara Jan 2, 13:32
  - longer. divorce has a revenge aspect. -- nm - Andie Jan 2, 13:27 3
    - I don't think it's exactly revenge (though in some cases it is). It's more that if you're getting divorced and it's not a complete blindsiding, - pmb Jan 2, 13:32
    - yes -- nm - Capstern Jan 2, 13:29 1
      - that was supposed to be yes...tosome degree when I was dating the first girl after my divorce the ex hated it and that made it even nicer to a degree -- nm - Capstern Jan 2, 13:32
- it's supposed to stop? -- nm - loosilu Jan 2, 13:26 1
